I hope they aren't, of course. Yet, of the about 8 bugs I reported  
over the last two years, only one was fixed - about nine months after  
reporting. If you want to review: at Launchpad I'm "Traumflug".

This gives an impression like "The Ubuntu Team" (whoever this is) is  
totally overwhelmed with the sheer number of reports - wich isn't  
neccessarily a bad thing, but isn't encouraging more reports either.

I admit I didn't participate in Jaunty testing. Running the alpha  
Live-CD showed me it wouldn't support my preferred monitor resoluton.  
In Intrepid, this resolution worked perfectly. This was reported (I  
think), but this part of Jaunty worked as designed (allow resolutions  
the monitor hardware suggests, only), and I had to find a workaround.  
I did this after the release, of course.

IMHO, the only common case on the i386/AMD64 platform is: there is no  
common case.

Seriously: there are millions of combinations of hardware components  
out there and even if some 0.13% of the computers worldwide happen to  
have the exactly same hardware, each of the hardware's users will  
have a different perference on how the box should work.

So: There is no common case.
